When he was a kitten, Able received a massive electric shock from loose wires in the street and the bang was loud that surrounding neighbours thought a bomb had exploded.

As a result, his tail and front paws ‘dropped off’ which left him vulnerable to other aggressive street cats.

Seven days after the accident, resident Walai Sriboonvorakul, 49, found Abel stranded in an alley in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand.

She nursed him back to health and two years later, he’s made a full recovery.

He’s now learnt to climb stairs, chase other cats and even jump walls by ‘bouncing like a kangaroo’.

‘Able is a beautiful cat,’ says owner Walai.

‘We called him “Able” because he can do everything just like the other animals. (He) struggled at first and his wounds were sore. But he adapted very quickly and he can stand and balance on his hid legs.

‘He is really strong and he can walk up and down stairs and play chase with other cats like bouncing like a little mini kangaroo. He can jump high up walls and ledges, too.’

Initially, he’d try and stray too far from Walai’s home which left him open to being ganged up on by other stray dogs and cats.

Now the family now keep Able inside their home, where he treats Walai’s son like a ‘big brother’.
